Looks like the project is getting some real traction. Greg has 5,000+ friend requests on Facebook, 6,000+ emails and now the Huffington Post has a lengthy spread on his work. This is perfect timing. Hopefully someone will come through with a new location for us to build.

Andee comes from Minnesota to build homeless homes (and escape the snow). Let’s break some glass. Get back on the horse Bella. We decide to start two new frames.

Do you know what a piano is? Yeah? Well this ain’t one. – Greg’s friend Greg added a few frills to Kelly’s home last night.
